Description
Hi
Please, could you add one more option to Preferences->Open files from applications->in the current window->with a buffer for each file
I'm using Airlines with tabline extension, so I'm using only buffers.
When I'm using it with pro-session (which use obsession) with Preferences->Open files from applications->in the current window->and set the arglist
I'm ending with session file polluted with entries like:
args dyd.txt
which are pointing to already closed buffers.
For now as a workaround I'm using -> with a split for each file
and then I'm always closing spilt to work only with buffers.
Using tabs is also not an option in this scenario.
Best
Mikolaj

Research direction
Start at Preferences → Open files from applications → in the current window and trace how the existing split-per-file behavior opens files and populates the arglist. Compare it with the reported Airlines, pro-session, and obsession workflow; done means a separate option opens each file as a buffer without leaving closed-buffer entries in the session file.
